''I STRONGLY recommend Dr. Malka, who operated on me last week. Whether during consultations, follow-up care, or the surgical procedure itself, he is extremely professional and truly effective. Very compassionate, he proved to be reassuring and attentive. During my hospitalization in particular, despite his busy schedule, I was able to observe that he dedicated time to each of the patients in the room with seriousness and kindness. Thank you, Doctor Malka!

''Caring, professional, speaks at eye level, consults when needed and we felt there was someone to rely on. He also gave me his personal number in case of need and was available to answer and advise. Highly recommended.

''I came to the doctor privately and paid for it. However, to my regret, I waited for the doctor for an hour!! I think that if a person pays privately, they should be seen on time or at least within a reasonable waiting time. The doctor's consultation was perfectly fine, he recommended surgery and promised that the secretary would contact me soon. After the consultation, the secretary did not get back to me. After two days, I tried to reach the secretary's office and when I finally succeeded, I was told that there were no operating rooms available due to the war, even though I was in a very difficult situation. Unfortunately, only after about two weeks they offered me surgery at very short notice, something I was not prepared for and I declined. In any case, the service experience was disappointing, especially given the fact that private care is supposed to be more pleasant.

      ''Dr. Malka is a first-rate surgeon. He is both an excellent operator and a wonderful, supportive, and humane personality. He performed my gallbladder removal surgery. He met with me before the surgery and explained thoroughly what it entailed. He described the medical condition, the surgical plan, post-operative instructions, and recovery expectations. The surgery went very well. The recovery was exactly as Dr. Malka anticipated. There was a follow-up appointment after the surgery where there was time for questions, and I received precise answers. I am very grateful to Dr. Malka for performing the successful surgery, but also for the personal care that accompanied me throughout the entire process. I definitely highly recommend Dr. Malka.

      ''My uncle, whom I accompanied during his health procedures, was treated by Dr. Malka who operated on him to remove a cancerous tumor in the liver at an advanced stage. The operation, complex and extremely delicate, was masterfully conducted and my uncle is doing wonderfully well. We were particularly touched by the professionalism, kindness, and dedication of Dr. Malka who accompanied and supported us throughout the pre- and post-operative procedures. We are infinitely grateful to him. An excellent doctor with great human qualities.

      ''Dr. Malka took charge of my father's oncological case, and since then, countless hours, personal WhatsApp correspondence, and spontaneous visits we made to him, including phone calls even while he was on private vacation abroad - Dr. Malka was always there for us. In my opinion, this approach has supreme value. Additionally, and of course very importantly, he demonstrated expertise in the medical field and always knew how to guide us to the right places and people, including other doctors, without considering any personal honor issues, but always putting the patient first and caring for what they needed, not what would benefit his personal advancement. I am grateful to Dr. Malka for his infinite dedication in his devoted and loving care of my father.

      ''I highly recommend Dr. Jacob Malka Dr. Malka was my father's surgeon for a Whipple procedure, a surgery to remove cancer in the head of the pancreas. Even during the investigation and diagnosis stage of the cancer, he was in contact with us and explained the surgery in detail. It is a long and complicated surgery, which was performed very professionally. In addition to his professional aspect, he is a patient and kind doctor who helped and reassured us at every stage of the process

      ''I would like to warmly recommend a surgeon who is first and foremost a human being with excellent interpersonal skills and a superbly gifted physician. I met Dr. Malka during a turbulent period three years ago, before the surgery I underwent. From the first moment, Dr. Malka expressed empathy and understanding for my situation, as well as great professionalism. I am happy and grateful that I had and still have the privilege of being his patient, and I recommend him to everyone.
